No prob. BTW sorry if it is kinda boring, we didn't really think about it until it was time for the shoot-out portion so I'm the only car on the track.

I'm glad it worked! The camera was mounted upside down with the mount and now I could mount like this for other videos in the future! Next time, I'll put few more camera on your car

The fitment looks awesome on your car Fred.

Phil, we will definately be sponsoring this year. I will get you the payment sent over and everything you need within the next week. I just bought 2 more fds this week, 6 total at the moment so things are a little hectic.

If there was a 7 making 300HP less, I think they would of won the other two competition.. (ET and MPH).

I dont know... 9.8 is going to take mid to upper 600's and a hell of a 60 foot time (AAA driver)!!!

I will compete next time around as the car is getting dialied in better. But mid to high 10's will be all I am good for.

The 300zx who was there went back a couple weeks later and broke off a 9.4 or 9.6 I cant remember.

Running sub 10s in an fd hasnt been accomplished too many times.

Yeah they're Border Fenders ... the fitment on everything is pretty good ... you can see a gap where the door meets the Fenders though ... the gap is larger than the other lines , but they are identical on both sides , makes me think it's just the way they come from Border ... I haven't seen many others to compare it to though

We just need to get ernie and crispeed here next go around. Maybe bump the fees up and have higher payouts . But then again I am sure that will bring out some other local supras that run mid 9's! The one I am speaking of gets daily driven also!

That hood is coming off ... I have a Knightsports CF one going on it , and with the rain gutters removed , there isn't enough pressure at speed to blow the hood off , so I'm eliminating the hood pins too
